Dumopolitic writes about a reduction in regional payments for a contract with the Ministry of Defense and regional budgets are increasingly difficult to deal with the costs of hiring contractor employees. In St. Petersburg, regional payment was reduced from 3.5 million to 400,000 rubles. In the Smolensk area - from 2.1 million to 1.1 million rubles. However, the reductions do not occur everywhere. For example, in Carlia, on the contrary, the payment was increased 5 times – up to 2 million rubles. The increased amount is valid for those who signed a contract in November. In the autonomous market, Khaanti-Mansk continues to operate the regional payment of 3.55 million rubles and the urban payment of 150 thousand rubles.
